I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist along with being an International Certified Gambling Counselor, Level 1 , a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional and a Qualified Supervisor in Florida.
I have worked extensively in substance abuse, with woman's issues (infertility), trauma, couples, gambling, intimacy issues and family therapy. I feel it is an honor to get to work with someone during their decision to grow. I feel that my desire to help others come from my own personal experience.
First session
In our first session, the goal is to meet and seek goals. I want to understand why you took the time to explore getting help. I will collaborate during the session and clarify your needs to best utilize your time and energy. The first session is a MARATHON- we gather a ton of information and work towards building goals. Change does not happen in one session- it takes time to learn new skills and implement coping methods. For couples the first three sessions are to work on understanding the systemic dynamics to work toward change.
Strengths
My greatest strengths is pulling a narrative together and adapting to the client's needs while also holding clinical boundaries. I like to explore different avenues to help my clients and try multiple interventions with skill-based work.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients who have often not been able to express their feelings and need an outlet. I love seeing people transform and leave behind behaviors that no longer serve them in the growth transformation. I have over 15 plus years working in the mental health field and the last six years in telehealth. My devotion is to making sure I am meeting your personal goals and no time is wasted in therapy. I specialize in couples therapy, family therapy, addiction (including pornography and gambling along with substance abuse), infertility, trauma and mood disorders. I am direct and compassionate.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT methods to help individuals reach their goals with behavioral changes that are obtainable.
Trauma Informed Care
I truly believe in Trauma informed care model due to it's high level of respect for the client. It allows and creates space for safety along with understanding the role safety plays in therapeutic work.
Gottman method
I utilize clinical interventions from Gottman method along with being trained. I feel Gottman has been instrumental for many couples and is researched based also with being adaptable. Couple's therapy is also to help strengthen a marriage.
